Eco-Model City Project, Japan
The Eco-Model City Project is an innovative regional revitalization project taking actions to achieve a low-carbon society. Thirteen selected Eco-Model cities (EMCs) are supported by the Japanese national government, and serve as leaders of the Promotion Council for the Low-Carbon Cities (PCLCC), which is a platform for local governments seeking to create low-carbon cities. Actors from PCLCC, the consortium of local governments, prefectures, national governments and public agencies are producing best practices and expand them to other cities in Japan and abroad.
